Somebody may have already posted this (I'm still sifting through the messages),
but Snagit will capture in any format - even *.png. I capture web pages, using
the scroll feature, as *.gif. IMO, Illustrator is not necessary, Snagit can do
it all. If you end up needing to crop an image, Snagit can even open the file
and you can then crop, or whatever.
